Great reader and book. I understand why some reviewers dissed the book—you have to be able to handle Henry James—but actually this one is simpler and more explicit than most of his novels.

Not so out of date as one would assume. The same class struggles and personal assumptions about the end of civilization apply right now!

Huh?

brilliant read...thank you.. What flight of insanity is this long, stultifying novel from James?

Great book, great reader

...a review from another website! I was enjoying this book and reached chapter 8 when I ran across several reviews of this book. One of the reviewers gave away the ending without a spoiler alert. I just can’t stay engrossed knowing what is to come. Such a shame!

one of James’s most accessible novels

an I loved every moment being in James’World!' Of course, Professor Clifford is the perfect narrator and was made to narrate the great Henry James. You are very missed Professor Clifford and thank you for sharing the greatest gift that of knowledge ❤️

Stars for the reader only.

I do not understand this story: why it's title, when it's really about Hyacinth? Why did he do what he did in the end? The reader is excellent, of course, but the story itself confuses me.

unusual and strange book, with inexplicable actions os some characters
